Liger003 ~ sorry it took so long to post this, we just got our hard drive flattened, so I was without the computer for a few days *tear * plus it gave me a major headache trying to get it back up, including the internet.

Angel Chapter six ~ the plan

Shippo yawned and stretched as he opened his eyes at the early morning rays of day. Man. He had one weird dream. Angel Inu-Yasha had come and turned into a bunny rabbit and told him to do something. . . If only he could remember what it was. . . Shippo scratched his head. It was something about burning him. . . did he not want to be burned? Or was it that he did want to be burned? Dang dreams! Why did they always have to be so hard to remember after you wake up?

A little ball of fluff squirmed on top of him. He looked down to see an asleep Kirara on his chest. He smiled; the little two-tailed cat was so cute when she was sleeping. It was almost as cute as that bunny rabbit Inu- Yasha turned into in his dream. It was a good thing that that wasn't really Inu-Yasha and just a dream. Inu-Yasha would have killed him.

"Hey, Kirara, wake up." Inu-Yasha shook the little fluff ball. The cat dug its head further down in Shippo's chest, her way of saying 'I am not getting up right now. Go away.' "Hey! Kirara! We have to figure out what to do with Inu-Yasha!"

Kirara poked her head up and looked at him as if to say, 'I thought we already decided what we were going to do.'

"I'm sorry. I know that we decided on burning his body today and burring his ashes, but I had a dream last night. Inu-Yasha was in it and I think that he said not to burn his body or something like that. What do you think?" Shippo asked her. "Do you think that we should burn him?" The cat shook her head and meowed, "Or do you think that we should save his body?" The cat nodded her head. "Okay. We will save his body. But what will we do with it?" The cat this time had a blank look on its face.

"I have the solution!" A voice came from behind them and they turned to face who ever it was.

"Who's there?" Shippo's voice shook, "I am a demon! I-I'll burn you with my Fox Fire!"

"No need of that!" Shippo searched every where, the voice seemed so close, but why couldn't he figure out the direction "Down here!" The voice cried out. Suddenly there was a hiss and Kirara hopped off of Shippo's chest to his shoulder, apparently attacking something.

"Kirara!" Shippo cried, "What are you doing?" Kirara faced him with something lodged into her teeth.

"Kirara! Put me down!" The little demon in her teeth called out.

"Old man Myoga!" Shippo cried. "What are you doing here? There was just a battle, I didn't except to see you for at least a week!"

"What do you mean by that?" Myoga asked, hurt in his voice.

"Everyone knows that you come within at least ten miles of a real fight." Shippo reminded him.

"I am so disappointed in you lack of confidence in me."

"It's true and you know it."

"Hump! I resent that!" Shippo didn't answer that. "If you drop me, Kirara, may be I will tell you my plan." Kirara dropped the flea and he hopped back down to Shippo's shoulder.

"Well, it is as you say. Inu-Yasha is dead."

"We know that." Shippo said dryly, though it still hurt to mention it.

"I am not finished!" Myoga cried, irritated. "He was obviously killed before his time."

"How do you know?" Shippo asked.

"Um, none of you business."

"Tell me! Please?"

"No."

"Yes!"

"No."

"Yes!"

"No!"

"Please?" Shippo made big puppy dog eyes. "Please?"

"No! Not the puppy dog face! Nooooooooo!" Myoga cried and covered his eyes, "Nooooo! Not the puppy dog face!"

"Please?" If at all possible, Shippo made his eyes bigger. "Please, Myoga?"

"I can't take it any more! Fine! I'll tell you, but you have to promise not to tell anyone." Shippo's face turned too normal. "Okay! I promise!"

"Okay. Ahem." Myoga cleared his throat. "I just happen to know one of the Grim Reapers."

"One of?" Shippo asked skeptically.

"Yes, there are three of them. Her and her sisters."

"What? More than one Grim Reaper?"

"Yes! Now let me finish! She told me of Inu-Yasha's unfortunate fate. She also told me that he was getting a second chance."

"You expect me to believe that you know the Grim Reaper?"

"Keep it down! If they find out that she has told someone her secret about being that Grim Reaper, she will be in trouble! And then I will be in trouble, with the Gods of life and death!"

"What do you mean? Why did she tell you?"

"I caught her stalking some guy that was to die soon. She in the end told me everything, she said that it felt good to let it all out."

"What's her name?"

"Grim." Myoga practically whispered. "But we are getting off the subject! Now, Inu-Yasha will take some tests in his spirit condition and then if he passes, he will have one test that he can not possibly pass on his own."

"Hey! There's nothing that Inu-Yasha can't handle." Shippo stated proudly.

"He has to be kissed by his true love."

"Uh, oh. He might have problems with that." Shippo scratched his head. "You do mean Kagome, right?"

"Yes." Myoga answered.

"But she is captured by Naraku!"

"Yes, I know. That is why I have a plan to get her out. We must work fast, though." Myoga told him.

"By us, you mean me and Kirara, right?" Shippo said flatly.

"Yes, of course." Myoga nodded.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Were here." Grim told her passenger.

"Finally." He retorted.

"Hey! I didn't have much fun either!" She could tell that his pride had been hurt by having to ride on her back, but she still was mad.

Why did she feel so mad at him? She had dealt with rude people before, but she never got very angry. What was different about him? Could it be that he was a rude dog? She hated dogs, but it didn't seem to be that she hated him.

A person stood waiting for them as they landed. She looked a lot like Grim, a cat person, but she had no stripes, and instead of two braids like Grim had, she wore her hair down. She also looked older than Grim. Grim looked like a thirteen-year-old but this person looked in her late teens. She too, though, wore a black robe and carried a sickle.

"Hey, Grim!" She waved. "You two look so cute! You would be such a cute couple! You know that?" Suddenly she whipped a camera out of nowhere and took a picture. "Do you think that all the relatives would like some 'Grim with dog boy on her back' mugs for Christmas?"

"Silence! You better not!" Grim cried as she dropped to the landing area.

"Oh, and what will you do for me to get this role of film back? Huh?" Grim jumped up and down trying to grab the camera out of her hand as Silence held it up high above her head.

"Silence! Give it!" Grim yelled.

"Why should I?" Silence smiled. Just then she felt the camera taken from her hand. She looked over to see Inu-Yasha looking at it weird.

"Hey! I think Kagome has one of these!" Inu-Yasha sniffed it. "What is it called? A caaaammmmmeerrriiiiaaa?" He tried to pronounce it.

"A camera." Silence corrected him. She tried to take it back, but Inu- Yasha was too fast for her. He found the part to open it and get the film out. He had no idea what it was, and when it wouldn't come out easily he took his claws and ripped it out.

"Be careful with that!" Silence yelled at him.

"What is this stuff?"

"It is film! Where are you from? Feudal Japan?" Silence roared at him. She swiped it away from a surprised Inu-Yasha. "I think you ruined my camera!"

"Uh, Silence?" Grim pulled on her sleeve; "He IS from Feudal Japan."

"Oh, well, that explains a lot." She said stupidly, "Well, he's the one for the second chance, right?"

"Yep." Grim told her.

She whipped out a clipboard, put on a pair of reading glasses, and flipped through a few papers. "Well, Inu-Yasha-"

"Hey! If you knew that it was Inu-Yasha, why did you tell me Inyu- Yatsha?" Grim wined.

"I wanted to see if you could still find him. I am surprised that you actually did. But anyway, Inu-Yasha, I will tell you you're past and you need to tell me if I have the right information, even though I always do."

"Uh, okay?" Inu-Yasha said, not sure what else to say.

"Okay, you are a half demon half human. Your parents died when you were young. You never got along with your half brother, to put it mildly. You lived in the woods next to a small village. You liked to jump on people's roofs at night and keep them up. You would use Mrs. Hoshi's chicken's for 'target practice', tease the boys in the village and occasionally beat them up, especially when they made fun of your being half demon. You liked to tear the heads off young girls' dolls, scare the village cats, my info says that one actually died of fright. The parents of the village children hated you because you would send their kids home crying, they actually went out into the forest to try to get rid of you . . . and that is only what you did when you were five. . .And someone please tell me, WHY are you getting a second chance?"

"This is you, isn't it?" Grim asked him.

"Feh. I never said anything about being a good demon . . ."

Silence flipped through the papers on her clipboard and sighed, "Okay, let's continue. This could take a while. . ."

End of Chapter Six

Liger003 ~ this one was longer than the others by about a page. It was really fun to write though; I liked thinking about what he would have done as a kid. And I know that you are all thinking, 'When is she going to get to the tests?' But I promise he WILL take a test VERY soon! Please Review! They really do make me write faster!
